The show had a good run. This is sad but there are more tragic cancellations.

There's a reason that so many great people got wasted in useless cameos, they knew this was probably coming. That being said, I'll myself that we're getting at least one more Community, although I'll be damned if I know in what format.

Yeah, biggest hurdle is honestly getting the hype train going again, which is hard without that "what could have been" fire from the fans. I wouldn't mind seeing season 6, but it's hard not to feel like its best episodes are behind it What about Comedy Central? I don't even know what the hell kinda programming they do besides Daily Show/Colbert and Southpark

It's about time. The show had a great run and I'd rather Dan Harmon put his time and energy behind new projects that are a better fit for his sensibilities and his audience (like Rick and Morty, which pulls similar numbers to Community but is considered a smash hit since it's on cable) than continue to drag along a cynical attempt at a network sitcom that is hemhorraging talent and budget with each new season.

Yeah, the difference between Community's 5th season and Rick & Morty was startling. Of course they're very different shows. But you could really tell that there was a lot of enthusiasm and energy going into one of them, that the people involved were having a blast, while the other felt like it was mostly just anxious not to step on anyone's toes. Community had a a good run, but if the end of season 5 proved anything, it's that there was nowhere left for this show to go except further up its own rear end in a top hat.

RIP Community. You were great once. Oh, and since Community is dead and gone, I have successfully beaten my Toxx. Suck it, nerds!

I mean, the cancellation is a bit sad, but it is also kind of funny because Dan Harmon was so overconfident that he didn't even try to give season five a proper ending like with season three. The last tag of the series will appropriately be Dan Harmon saying gently caress you to NBC and now NBC is saying gently caress you back.

Is there a master list of shows that were cancelled then picked up by another network? Every time a show gets cancelled, people run through the other networks with a series of "maybe ABC will pick it up" "maybe TBS" "maybe Netflix", and I'm thinking, Cougar Town, Arrested Development, that's it. If a show is cancelled, it's gone, why grasp at straws?

This announcement made me verbally with my mouth parts laugh out loud more than the last season of Community has, it is at least 34% more funny.

Yeah, but then you run into a situation where every season finale is a series finale and it becomes loving tedious (see: Chuck). Its a sitcom, I don't need closure.

Now we'll never know how Jeff met the mother. At least the next Harmontown episode should be interesting listening.

Disappointing, but after the lackluster seasons four and five, it was time this show was put out of its misery.

Yeah, this seems right. Odds Dan Harmon writes at least 1000 words on his tumblr about this before 11:59pm PST Sunday? 80/20? edit: Community was a good show, tho.

The show seemed ready to end but, what the hell Parks got renewed? They've been running on fumes way longer than Community.

I think I'd be okay with a Kickstarter movie as a wrapup without a sixth season, but I'll have to convince Dan tomorrow at Harmontown...

I think Community is one of very few live-action properties that could work out as Adult Swim-style 10-minute minisodes. If the sixth season is 130 minutes total, they could garnish that a bit with extra scenes, call it a movie, and fulfill the prophecy.

Thanks for the good times, Community thread, I might never have watched this show if you weren't bitching about it getting snubbed in the 2010 Emmys thread. Also, thanks to whoever recommended that I watch Party Down, I think that was in this thread and you were spot on with that one. Also also, let's just not talk about how insufferably terrible you've been for the last few seasons Silver lining, at least this might free up Joel McHale to replace Craig Ferguson on The Late Late Show?...aw poo poo, Ferguson's leaving too

I'm okay with this. While Season Five was a giant upswing in quality, a lot of it was pretty joyless.

I just burned through all of Review last week, and it was amazing. CC's plan of giving talented people (Key & Peele, Amy Schumer, Nathan Fielder) their own half-hour sandboxes is going very well. Another silver lining: At least Rick and Morty is still on the air. tinstaach fucked around with this message at 21:40 on May 9, 2014 |

It's Always Sunny and Veep are still on the air so I really don't care that much about this news. Community was very funny until Harmon decided that jokes were for rubes.

If he posts it enough, it means he's not the minority opinion here, you see. Guy spent 3 seasons watching a show he seems to absolutely hate made by someone he despises (and god does he let us know that at every opportunity). Frankly, it's a win if I never have to see it again.
